As I have probably mentioned before, I believe that love is an action verb, not just an emotion. You show someone that you love them by the things that you do, not by the things that you say you'll do. Not that you are trying to "buy" someone's love but you prove that you love someone by doing. I think we often miss this in our day to day lives. Love is action.
Love is also a choice. GOD allows us to choose who we love, who we will spend the rest of our lives with. Then, we have a choice each day to continue to choose to love that special someone. For one reason or another, countless people wake up one day and choose not to, their choice.
GOD also gives us the same choice when it comes to loving Him. We can choose to love GOD or we can choose not. He didn't make us spiritual robots with no freedom; He gave us free will, and we can use that free will to choose to love Him or not. Now, why anyone would choose not to love GOD, I do not know. I do know there are serious consequences for not loving Him, but, I love Him because He is my Great Father. And, He has loved me continually from the beginning.
Today's word is Jeremiah 31:3, NIV, which reads, "The LORD appeared to use in the past, saying, 'I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness."
Not only does GOD choose to love us, He has made that choice from the beginning, every single second of every single day. It is often overused, especially by me, but has it ever occurred to you that there is nothing you can do to make GOD love you more; and, there is absolutely nothing you can do to make GOD love you less. GOD has chosen to love us from the beginning, forever. That is love.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
